Absorbine Veterinary Liniment Gel 340g – Muscle & Joint Relief for Horses

Absorbine Veterinary Liniment Gel is a soothing, easy-to-apply topical treatment designed to help relieve temporary muscle soreness, joint stiffness and swelling in horses. Combining natural menthol with a traditional blend of herbal extracts, this warming liniment provides targeted comfort before and after exercise, training or competition.
